About Joyfully Jogging Jeni

Hi all!

Thanks for visiting my page! I'm choosing to raise money for Girls on the Run Michiana (GOTRM) for so many reasons. I love the mission of GOTR to help girls be joyful, healthy, and confident. As someone who has coached many GOTR lessons, I use some of the strategies in my daily life. Imagine that you dug deep and recognized your own STAR power when life feels heavy!! These are the important lessons that we are teaching the girls. 

I'm also on the board of GOTRM and am deeply involved in planning the 5K celebrations! In both of these roles, I spend a lot of time thinking about logistics and small details, which can sometimes make you forget the bigger mission. In every run I've gone on in my training, I've been intentional about thinking about the girls that we are helping navigate these tricky times in elementary and middle school. We are helping to supply their toolboxes with strategies they will use for life. The culmination of the 5K celebration is THE MOST JOYFUL event I've ever attended. I get goose bumps every year! 

One of the things I love about the Michiana GOTR is that currently, more than 68% of the girls in our program come from low-income communities. Funds raised by SoleMates allows these girls scholarship and subsidy support to participate in our life-changing program, empowering them to be confident, healthy and joyful. Your support will help Girls on the Run Michiana to maintain our commitment to serving all girls, regardless of financial need.

THANK YOU!!
